Apocalypse: Starting with a Tricycle, Operating a Mobile Supermarket

After Jiang He had been a scapegoat in the new world for half a year, her super powerful management system finally arrived late. After binding, she started by pedaling a small tricycle, operating a...

Chapter 510: Come alive, leave dead

The soldiers at the base found their positions and waited for the base commander's order to shoot and kill the rampant foreigners.

This force was not enough, so Li Chaoqing planned to use fire attack, but it would take some time to prepare.

He pretended to compromise and negotiated with those people, "You also know that Pingchen is just a small base, and the supplies are not much. If we give away half of it, the residents of the base will starve to death within half a month.

In return, I agree to give you one-fifth of the food, thirty rifles, and three boxes of ammunition, in exchange for releasing the hostages."

Zheng Yongjun snorted coldly, "That condition just now is our bottom line. There is no room for negotiation!"

He waved his hand, and the people next to him immediately brought Shixu over and kicked him in the knee, forcing him to kneel on the ground.

"It seems that you didn't take my words seriously. From now on, every ten minutes, we will kill a hostage until you hand over the supplies!"

These words made Shixu's mother completely collapse. She leaned on the wall, looking at her son's bent back from afar, her face covered with tears.

An executioner with a knife walked behind him, ready to carry out the beheading at any time.

"Xiao Xu, it's all Mom's fault for not being able to save you..."

The woman, crying uncontrollably, murmured softly, "Xiao Xu, walk slowly. Mom will be here soon."

Shi Xu seemed to have heard her thoughts and looked deeply in a certain direction.

Even though a knife was hanging over his head, he didn't show any fear, and his eyes were filled with only reluctance and apology.

Mom, I'm sorry.

Zheng Yongjun raised his chin with a condescending attitude and said, "Take the thing out of his mouth and see how tough he can be now."

“Hmm…”

The cloth was pulled away. Shixu moved his mouth twice, raised his head and shouted, "Everyone has to die. Some are heavier than Mount Tai, while others are lighter than a feather. I, Shixu, have died a worthy death. I have no regrets in this life!"

The executioner frowned and couldn't help asking, "Boss, what is he talking about?"

Zheng Yongjun twitched his lips and said, "It seems to be some ancient text."

Unhappy with Shixu's reaction, he walked up and kicked him hard.

"Hey, beg for mercy quickly. Crawl on the ground like a dog and show me how to behave. Maybe I'll consider it and let you go."

Shi Xu endured the pain, tried to straighten his body, and suddenly spat on the man.

"Heh! You are a bunch of scabby dogs. Now that you have lost your country, you can only act like rats, stealing and robbing things everywhere.

Sooner or later you will be driven out of China, and then continue to beg somewhere else, pitiful to death..."

Before he could finish his words, Zheng Yongjun swung his fist and hit him hard in the face.

A trace of blood flowed from the corner of Shi Xu's mouth, and his smile was full of contempt. "Why, did I hit you where it hurts? Without parents, without a home, who is more miserable than you?"

With a bang.

He was punched again.

Shi Xu laughed so hard that his shoulders trembled slightly. "Is that all the strength you have? I can tell you haven't eaten in several days."

Zheng Yongjun was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He snatched the knife from someone else's hand and was about to chop at Shixu.

“Drip—drip—drip—”

A sharp and loud car horn sounded from behind, making people's ears buzz.

When Zheng Yongjun saw the pink car, his expression changed instantly.

Why this car again?

But after a moment, Zheng Yongjun calmed down and kept comforting himself.

There are so many of them and only one on the other side. No matter how you look at it, they have a higher chance of winning.

Jiang He didn't brake and kept running on the road. The crowd automatically made way for her.

The RV drove steadily to Zheng Yongjun.

Jiang He lowered the car window and glanced outside. "What's going on?"

Zheng Yongjun stared at her intently, his expression tense, "It has nothing to do with you. If you don't want to die, get out of here!"

Jiang He shook his head: "I'm afraid that won't work. I still have to go to Pingchen Base to do business."

Out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of twenty or so people tied up and a young man kneeling on the ground.

She raised her hand and pointed, "Are these all Chinese? We haven't seen each other for just a few days, and you're already changing your tactics, resorting to kidnapping and extortion?"

Zheng Yongjun looked impatient. "Stop the bullshit! We're being forced to do this! If these bases were willing to accept refugees, we wouldn't have to go to such lengths to kidnap them!"

Jiang He sighed, "Ah, I'm just worried that you might come here alive but not leave alive."

"What do you mean?" Zheng Yongjun's heart skipped a beat. He quickly pulled Shixu over and put the knife across his neck.

"You brought people here? Tell them to evacuate quickly, otherwise, I will kill him now!"

At this moment in the Pingchen base, everyone looked at the pink RV that suddenly appeared and the young girl in it.

"Base Commander, could she be someone sent by Jingbei?"

Li Chaoqing also couldn't understand what the girl wanted to do by breaking into the enemy camp alone.

"That shouldn't be the case. If Jingbei wants to send someone, they should send a military unit instead of letting a girl like her take risks alone.

Maybe, it’s just a coincidence.”

"So what should we do next?"

"The plan remains unchanged, but the time will be delayed. We will observe the situation first. If they start to act, we will shoot them directly."

Outside the base.

Jiang He raised his eyebrows and said casually, "Actually, I'm here to rescue people. You just want supplies, right? I have plenty here."

As she spoke, she displayed mineral water, canned meat, beef jerky, and hot boxed lunches one by one.

Zheng Yongjun's eyes lit up and he swallowed hard, "Food alone is not enough, we also need weapons."

The next second, Jiang He said in an exaggerated tone, "How do you know I have so many weapons?"

She raised a Dawn Crossbow that emitted a metallic luster.

"Although they're less powerful than guns, they're more numerous. A thousand of them, are they enough?"

A glint of greed flashed across Zheng Yongjun's eyes. "Take out the things first. We'll check them and then talk about releasing them."

Jiang He put the beef jerky into his mouth and chewed it. "No, what if I take out the supplies and you go back on your word and raise the price?"

Zheng Yongjun's eyes flashed, "So what do you want?"

After a pause, Jiang He swallowed some beef jerky and spoke again: "Let them go back to the base first. I'll stay here alone. You guys will definitely need the supplies."

Zheng Yongjun was a little hesitant, always feeling that things were not that simple.

He turned around and discussed with the other people in the team for a long time before he came up with the safest solution.

"You can let him go, but you have to get out of the car, throw the car keys on the ground, and make sure you don't drive away."
